I hope I’m articulate enough to explain this coherently. We have an interactive with about 30 buttons. The reader is asked to choose among the buttons, each of which change a chart that shows the California Budget Deficit. In other words the reader is reducing the said deficit by clicking a button which then “defunds a program” and changes the main chart. When the reader clicks a button we have a dynamic text field (for each button) that registers that that button has been clicked. At the end the reader is invited to submit his choices, that is, which buttons have been clicked.
What we would like to do is have each submission emailed to us so we could do a breakdown of how the readers chose to reduce the budget.
Is there ANY WAY to take the contents of a series of dynamic text fields and have them automatically appear in an email that the reader could send to us? Or are we doomed to construct a database?
If it would be best to construct a database that would do what we want, how best to approach that?
